Sialkot Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCC) President Abdul Ghafoor Malik has demanded the government to set special electricity rates for five important export-oriented sectors of the country to promote exports.
In a press statement issued here on Sunday, he said that 80 to 100 percent increase in electricity bills in the form of taxes and levies was a big challenge for domestic exports, which could not be ignored in any case.
The SCCI President said that there was no doubt that the government had to take strict measures in view of the country’s economic situation, but the export industry, which keeps the wheel of country’s economy moving was already suffering from expensive utility bills.—APP
